In this episode of FLOW with Yami, I answer a thoughtful question from a former student: "How do you find your center?" Given the rise in anxiety, especially among young people post-COVID, I share my personal journey and practical steps to regain balance and clarity.
- Pause & Breathe – Use intentional breathing to calm your mind and body.
- Check In with Yourself – Recognize your emotions without judgment.
- Ground Yourself – Feel connected to the earth, whether by standing firmly, holding a rock to ground you, or focusing on an inspiring image.
- Quiet the Noise – Take a break from distractions and create a clear space.
- Engage in Focused Activities – Writing, praying, meditating, walking, or drawing can help recenter you.
- Let Go of Perfection – Embrace mistakes as opportunities for growth.
- Return to the Present – Stay mindful of the now, using tools like a sand clock if needed.
- Set an Intention – Write a daily affirmation like “I am alive and joyful” to keep yourself centered.
Finding your center fosters self-reflection and transformation, impacting all areas of life—home, career, and finances. Stay refreshed, balanced, and in flow!
